huntsmen's clothes made, all alike, and the eleven maidens had to

put on the huntsmen's clothes, and she herself put on the twelfth

she loved so dearly. Then she asked if he required any huntsmen,

and if he would take all of them into his service. The king

looked at her and did not know her, but as they were such

handsome fellows, he said: 'Yes,' and that he would willingly

take them, and now they were the king's twelve huntsmen.
